Awesome News! The pressure in my cornea (a sort of pre-glacoma symptom) is down to 22 and 24 right and left eye respectively (from the 27-28 range).
Translation: Last fall the opthalmologist (eyeball doctor) ran the routine puff of air test to determine the pressure on my corneas. The high results (27-28 range) caused the doc. to talk about medication to avoid Glacoma. It's a sneaky disease that gradually eats away your peripheral vision and ultimately can cause blindness. So what's all this eyeball talk have to do with my workout you ask?? While he's talking I'm thinking, hmm, all my exercise and healthy eating, could this be the reason for the lower numbers. So I casually asked if the lower numbers could be the result of my exercise program. He said, "Well..., yes..., it could be. But losing weight would reduce the numbers." Jackpot!! I wanted to jump on his lap and yell I've lost 28 pounds since joining the CrossFit cult!! But I restrained myself and exclaimed OMG, I've lost almost 30 pounds since November! Now this guy is pretty serious and somewhat dull (a great doctor, but .... well you know) and he's old, must be at least 61 or 62, but this revelation produced a big smile, and uplifted voice as he congratulated me! Even the nurse in the hall heard our conversation! Naturally as a member of the CrossFit cult I began to expound upon the blah, blah, blah hi Tut of CrossFit!!! He was almost as happy as I am.
Another happy ending, and today I didn't even workout! Good night, l-m
